Microsoft Windows Defender 1.1.1051 beta 2

Windows Defender (Beta 2) is a free program that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection, a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it"s detected, and a new streamlined interface that minimizes interruptions and helps you stay productive.
Windows Defender (Beta 2) detects and removes known spyware from your computer, which helps make your Internet browsing safer. The software uses automatic definition updates provided by Microsoft analysts to help detect and remove new threats as the threats are identified.

Specific features of Windows Defender Beta 2 include:
? A redesigned and simplified user interface ? Incorporating feedback from our customers, the Windows Defender UI has been redesigned to make common tasks easier to accomplish with a warning system that adapts alert levels according to the severity of a threat so that it is less intrusive overall, but still ensures the user does not miss the most urgent alerts.
? Improved detection and removal ? Based on a new engine, Windows Defender is able to detect and remove more threats posed by spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Real Time Protection has also been enhanced to better monitor key points in the operating system for changes.
? Protection for all users ? Windows Defender can be run by all users on a computer with or without administrative privileges. This ensures that all users on a computer are protected by Windows Defender.
? Support for 64-bit platforms, accessibility and localization - Windows Defender Beta 2 also adds support for accessibility and 64-bit platforms. Microsoft also plans to release German and Japanese localized versions of Windows Defender Beta 2 soon after the availability of the English versions. Use WindowsDefenderX64.msi for 64-bit platforms.

- Benefits of Windows Defender (Beta 2) -

Helps detect and remove spyware:
? Spyware detection. Quickly and easily finds spyware and other unwanted programs that can slow down your computer, display annoying pop-up ads, change Internet settings, or use your private information without your consent.
? Straightforward operation and thorough removal technology. Eliminates detected spyware easily at your direction. If you inadvertently remove programs that you actually want, it"s easy to get them back.
? Scheduled scanning and removal. Runs these processes when it"s convenient for you, whether it"s on-demand or on a schedule that you set.

Improves Internet browsing safety:
? Helps stop spyware before it infiltrates your computer. Offers a continuous safeguard designed to target all the ways that spyware can infiltrate your computer.
? Works without distracting you. Runs in the background and automatically handles spyware based on preferences that you set. You can use your computer with minimal interruption.

Helps stop the latest threats:
? Expertise you can rely on. A dedicated team of Microsoft researchers continuously searches the Internet to discover new spyware and develop methods to counteract it.
? Stops new threats quickly. A voluntary, worldwide network of Windows Defender (Beta 2) users helps Microsoft determine which suspicious programs to classify as spyware. Participants help discover new threats quickly and notify Microsoft analysts, so that everyone is better protected. Anyone who uses Windows Defender (Beta 2) can join this network and help report potential spyware to Microsoft.
? Automatically stays up to date. To help protect your computer from the latest threats, you can choose to have updates that counteract new spyware automatically downloaded to your computer.

Improvements in Windows Defender (Beta 2):
? Enhanced performance through a new scanning engine.
? Streamlined, simplified user interface and alerts.
? Improved control over programs on your computer using enhanced Software Explorer.
? Multiple language support with globalization and localization features.
? Protection technologies for all users, whether or not they have administrator rights on the computer.
? Support for assistive technology for individuals who have physical or cognitive difficulties, impairments, and disabilities.
? Support for Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
? Automatic cleaning according to your settings during regularly scheduled scans.

Known issues:
? Windows Defender (Beta 2) may prompt you to remove some peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing programs. If you choose to remove such a program, Windows Defender (Beta 2) deletes the entire contents of the Program Files directory that relates to the P2P program. Because some P2P programs store downloaded files in a default directory under Program Files, this might remove all files downloaded through the file-sharing program. For example, KaZaA stores .exe and .dll files at C:Program FilesKazaa. Downloaded files are stored at C:Program FilesKazaaMy Shared Folder. If you use Windows Defender (Beta 2) to remove KaZaA, all files and folders under C:Program FilesKazaa are removed. If you have installed any P2P file-sharing programs, we recommend that you make a backup copy of your downloaded files before running Windows Defender (Beta 2).
? You do not need to remove other antispyware or antivirus programs to run Windows Defender (Beta 2). Other programs or Windows Defender (Beta 2) may prompt you to allow or block an action, but there are no other known incompatibilities with other antispyware or antivirus programs.
? Windows Defender (Beta 2) will uninstall Windows AntiSpyware.

DVD Rebuilder v1.08.1

That"s where DVD Rebuilder Professional (DVD-RB) comes in. This program was built to bridge the gap between the incredibly easy but limited "one-click" solutions and the incredibly complex but high-quality methods of DVD ripping and backup. Another advantage of DVD-RB when compared to older methods is that it doesn"t require access to an expensive authoring package. DVD-RB includes its own reauthoring engine that reconstructs the DVD in a way compatible with its original design.


Over the course of the past couple of years DVD ripping techniques have changed dramatically. Newer "one click" programs have made backing up a DVD a fairly simple process... but there is a significant trade-off. The quality that can be attained by even the best of these programs is poor in comparison to original techniques that used Cinemacraft Encoder, TMPGEnc, or other top-notch encoders. The reason is simple. When using one of these encoders the picture is rebuilt from scratch and optimized for the resulting bit rate. One-touch transcoders usually change quantization and/or motion info in order to lower the bit rate. This can result in pixelation and poor overall picture.



DVD Rebuilder PRO features:

* Menu Encoding - The ability to scan and reencode menu segments in the same way as standard title sets.
* Multiple encoder instances - On multiple core computers and some very fast single core computers using hyperthreading this will take advantage of unused processor time.
* Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
* Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
* Segment Blanking - Provides you a capability to remove annoying intro screens.
* Slideshow Mode - Convert "Extra" segments into a slideshow, saving valuable space for the Feature.
* Advanced Encoding Features - Modify GOP size, add customized encoder quantizer matrices, set DC precision.
* Movie-Only - mode that gives the highest quality possible. Every available bit is dedicated to the feature.
* One pass encoding support for HC encoder - Gives high quality results in much less time.
* Graphic Analysis display for use in analyzing the IFO structure - draws PGC/CELL relationships.
* ISO file creation is now supported to make it easier to archive or burn DVD-RB"s output.
* Automatic burning using ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter - makes complete DVD Backup truly "one-click".
* Remapping audio tracks - set the default to your language or preferred format.
* New intuitive interface - modernizes and simplifies control of your rebuild!
* Full support for video interleaving (ILVU) - re-encodes angle and seamless branching.
* ...and more... with many additional features planned in the near future!



New features in this version include the ability to force no compression on segments and autosensing of savings to determine whether to keep intact source video. Improved sizing calculations and several bug fixes included.

- NEW FEATURE: Added automatic detection and extraction of segments that don"t need reencoding. This makes it it possible, e.g., for "Steal Space from Extras", "Half-D1/Half Space", Menu Encoding, or possibly even simple removal of a large audio track to allow the main feature"s video to be kept completely intact. Included a "Force Reencode" selection under the "Options" menu which will override this feature when you wish filters to be applied.

- Added a "Force No Reencoding" to the Video Segment Editor/Viewer. This will allow you to select segments for which you wish the video portion to remain intact. Note that this setting reduces the "recovered" amount that can be added to the feature -- and can lead to a negative feature bitrate. When this happens the "Save Settings" button is disabled.

- Added a selection under the "Settings" menu that allows you to choose to size for DVD-5 (single layer) or for DVD-9 (dual layer) output. Also added DL target size adjustment parameter for each encoder. You can set size for DLTargetSectors or any of the encoders (just add "DL" to any of the old target settings, e.g. HCTargetSectors would become DLHCTargetSectors). This capability was added to satisfy requests -- but also to support other new upcoming features. Note that the "DVD-9" option is new and SHOULD BE CONSIDERED "BETA" -- use with caution until it is completely debugged.

- Added an option under the "Settings" menu that allows you to set the process priority of the encoder to NORMAL or IDLE (low) priority. This can be useful for times when you are using your computer for other purposes while encoding. Careful, though, using the IDLE priority can also slow down encoding dramatically when any other process is in progress.

- Fixed an error that could cause certain types of menu still pictures to not display -- causing what could be perceived as several other menu problems.

- Corrected a miscalculation related to menu encoding that might lead to oversizing (especially when using TargetSector settings that have been increased from the default).

- Updated some of the calculation methods in the Segment Viewer, using the old methods it was possible to lose sizing accuracy when portions of the Feature VTS were blanked or set for SLIDESHOW mode.

- Added "quick" keys to the segment editor. You can now press "B" to blank, "S" for slideshow, "F" to force no reencoding (keep video intact) and either "N" or "Space" to set back to normal.

- Corrected an error in which the "Half-D1/Half Space" option was not working properly and output video may not have been resized.

- Fixed a minor bug in which an encounter with an illegally formated IFO file format could repeat an error message several times.

- Fixed a cosmetic error in which a "-" would be inserted in the DVD-RB form title every time it was activated.

- Corrected a registration bug introduced in v1.08.

- Other minor bug fixes.
